** Roxas passing out upon entering Castle Oblivion was due to him being too close to Sora and his other self.
** Apparently, Xemnas did something to Xion to make her powerful for when she confronted Roxas the following day.
** According to Nomura Xion didn't always appear as Ventus in Xigbar's eyes. It was just in that moment.

** PlayedWith for Mickey. ''HD 1.5 [=ReMIX=]'' extended Mickey's sole scene with Riku, but because Wayne Allwine passed away shortly after recording the original, Bret Iwan had to take over. However, in the DS version, Allwine simply recorded battle grunts and the like, and Mickey had ''no'' voiced lines in this scene. Iwan doesn't actually re-record any lines and instead only records lines for Mickey that had never been voiced before.
* RoleReprise: The ''HD 1.5 [=ReMIX=]'' movie in 2013 marks the return of David Dayan Fisher, Ryan O'Donohue, and Creator/RobinAtkinDownes as Xaldin, Demyx, and Luxord, their last voiced appearance being the original game's release in 2009.

* CreatorBacklash: Tetsuya Nomura profusely apologized for the movie in the ''I.5 HD [=ReMIX=]'' collection not adapting any of the game's battle scenes, noting that the transition between [[spoiler:Xion challenging Roxas and then collapsing in defeat]] in particular is terribly awkward. The cinematics for the ''Re:coded'' movie in the ''II.5 HD [=ReMIX=]'' collection have short battle cutscenes to remedy this, and the aforementioned scene from the ''358/2 Days'' movie is amended in the [=PS4=] version.

** Although Christopher Lee came back to voice [=DiZ=] in this game after Corey Burton voiced him in ''Re:Chain of Memories'', he was replaced by Burton again in the ''1.5 HD Remix'' due to added scenes and to keep consistency between the voices.

* ContinuityLockout: The game assumes players already know what happens in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI'', ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories'', and ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'', doing little to fully explain what happened to newcomers bar a tutorial about the nature of the Heartless.

* UpdatedRerelease: {{Averted|Trope}}: Notable, as this is the only game in the series so far not to be remade or given a [[NoExportForYou Final Mix]]. Its cutscenes were redone with the series' traditional [=PS2=] in-engine graphics for ''Kingdom Hearts HD I.5'', however.

** A world based on Pleasure Island from ''Disney/{{Pinocchio}}'' with a WhatMeasureIsANonHuman-centered plot was planned, but it was scrapped due to space limitations. Some ''Pinocchio'' character sprites [[DummiedOut are tucked away in the game files]], and aspects of this idea were later used in ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance''.
